thick velvet folds
of darkness all around me
caress me
yet suffocate me
i lie in wait
and smell the earth
of mother nature’s
preternatural womb
i’m lonely still
yet not alone
and I wait until
you all come home
i miss you more
than you miss me
i never knew before
about reality
sadness drips from vessels such as eyes
dryness cracks
the sands of time
i fear for you
not for me
for i have
all of eternity
i’ll have my questions answered
never more to doubt
basking in god’s sunshine
i’ll never be without
i feel your love
from up above
i share your tears
but not your fears
i know someday
we’ll meet again
i will show you
a true friend
